My Funny Valentine

Valentime's Day, as the kids at tutoring call it (along with Justin Cornell and probably others too), has brought out interesting comments from the kids. Here are a few excerpts with the names changed to protect the innocent:

Bob-3rd GradeBob: You kids don't know anything about love. When you are my age then you will understandMe: Oh really, you aren't that much older than they are.Bob: Ms. Katie I am 9 and I am going through puberty.(Really? 9? Did I know that word when I was 9?)

Bill-2nd GradeBill: (noticing the ring on my hand) Ms. Katie did you just get married?!Me: Um I have been married as long as you have known me.Bill: Really? How long?Me: Almost 4 years!Bill: Wow, so you've been married since you were like a kid huh?(haha, sure if 22 is still a kid)

Sue-5th GradeSue: Ms. Katie do you share a bathroom with your husband?Me: Yes we do.Sue: I don't understand why people be bathin' together. That don't make no sense to me. Ms. Katie do you have to bathe with your husband?Me: uhhhhhhhh....no I don't HAVE to.(I didn't think it was my place to have this kind of conversation)

Betsy-KindergartenMe: So are you making your parents anything for Valentine's Day?Betsy: No because my dad just moved out and he is living in compartments.(I think she meant apartments and it's ok, he moved back home)

Betsy-Kindergarten and her tutorBetsy: Who lives at your house?Tutor: My husband and I.Betsy: And your kids?Tutor: No we don't have any kids yet.Betsy: But I thought you were married?Tutor: I am. We just don't have any kids yet.Betsy: Why?Tutor: Because we don't want kids just yet.Betsy: But when will they come?Tutor: When we decide to have them.Betsy: Well what did your doctor say?(I don't know how this conversation ever ended but who knew a kindergartener could grill you so hard?)
